How long should I rest between sets? | You Deserve Well

How long should I rest between sets?

Around one to two minutes for lighter or smaller exercises, and two to three minutes for heavy, demanding lifts. Resting enough lets you perform each set well, which is what builds strength.

Do not rush your rests to feel like you are working harder. Quality reps matter more than a fast session.
